ANTIQUE GOLD MINING ASSAY BALANCE SCALE
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:113312 |
Offered is a rare precision G.P. Keller Assay Gold Button Balance, circa 1895. This balance is original, complete, and fully functional. No parts have ever been polished or refinished. Notice the inspection / calibration sticker found within a drawer, dated NOV 1912. Fractional weight set in ebony wood box is included.
There are only two minor flaws, depicted in one of the photos. There is a small chip to the base nea...r the left side rear corner, and a hairline window pane crack. Those blemishes aside, this example has excellent display qualities. It is well over 100 years old, a legitimate antique from the gold mining days in the Old West.
Expert packing is free, shipping is by UPS Ground only. Do not pay until invoiced, as shipping cost varies with destination. I have always enjoyed a 100% positive eBay rating.
